Had our lunch here and the taste of all the foods which we have ordered met our expectations. We ordered Pucuk Paku Masak Lemak, Tamarine Prawn, Curry Fish Slice & Pandan Chicken and all were very tasty especially the Prawn. Food service was efficient although they had a group there as well and staffs was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

We came early to book our table and menus for breaking fast. The food was good, however it was quite pricey compared to the portion they served. They even charged on dates (they put it on the table, we didn't order so we thought it was the courtesy of the management) for few ringgits and also the wet tissue (they don't have handwash basin for those who eats with their bare hands).

Seriously, this is Ipoh, you have so many other choices if you aren't a Muslim if you want to enjoy good assam food (ahem...Up & Up Restaurant). Even IF you won't touch anything that doesn't have a halal sticker on it, this is NOT the place to go to because there are dozens of good spicy and sour food with a halal badge in this state and doesn't break your bank account.

Now back to the food itself. Nothing stands out from this place, the taste is mediocre, the way they cook it is mediocre and worst of all, although it's name "Assam" suggest spicy and sour is it's center stage but it really doesn't.

The curry fish head taste like......curry, quite spicy but there is NOT even a hint of "assam" in it. The sweet and sour chicken that we ordered were mushy and some of them quite hard because they were battered in super thick powder, fried then covered in sauce for too long before they were served. The herbal tea and the dessert were too sweet it's like they forgot they already put sugar in them and then they put MORE.

I haven't even come to the worst part, the price. It's just not worth it. We ordered a set menu: 1 curry fish head, 1 plate of vege, 1 plate of chicken, 1 plate of prawns (1 prawn for 1 person), 1 plate of "buka puasa" yee sang (that consist of all vege) and 1 plate of sizzling tofu (that was NOT sizzling and almost COLD when it reaches the table) and the total cost per person is RM50! I can cook a piece of 300g grade 5 wagyu beef with this price...

As its namesake, anything cooked with sambal assam or spicy tamarind condiment is very good here. Other dishes are not exceptional but you can be assured that they won't disappoint either. The environment is good but its a little bit pricey for local food

Food is good ( taste and variety), service is pleasent, ambient in restaurant is nice(5 stars). But for me it is overpriced(reason to reduce to 3 stars). If money is really not an issue, go ahead.
